Holmes v The Third Reich What is the greatest secret
in Nuremberg?
Revealed for the first time the great detective's role in
WW11. December 1939 Germany and Great Britain are in the
fog of the phoney war. The First Sea Lord Winston Churchill
knows that England is not nearly ready for the fight. Four
British spies have perished in strange circumstances in
Nuremberg trying to discover the biggest secret of the Third
Reich. Churchill turns to the only man he knows who can
solve the mystery. But Lord Sherlock Holmes is now 83, Dr
Watson even older. Are they still up to it? They must cross
the Channel, pretend to be German sympathisers. If caught,
England will disown them. Holmes accepts the challenge;
indeed he has been awaiting the call. They will solve the
mystery, or die in the attempt. Two ancient men of England
and one beautiful nurse Cornelia Hainsely enter enemy territory.
Their loyalty will be tested, more than once, and there
is no one they can trust. The secret of Nuremberg is far
more sinister than even Holmes could imagine; their chances
of getting back alive, very slim indeed.

A Sherlock Holmes Mystery available now. As featured

Distributed by Ingrams & available from Amazon and other

Printed in the USA and UK
* First published as a hardback with Arlington under a pseudonym
(Marcel D'Agneau). The publisher held on tight to it and
just wouldn't give it back. Fortunately death parted the
book from his determined grip and now, following revision,
it is at last available again to everyone in paperback.
I am particularly happy to have it published in America,
for the book was never available there the first time around.
I hope they like it there as much as British readers have
over the years. (Battered copies of the original are still
in UK libraries or trading on Ebay). I hope a new generation
of readers find the book at Lulu Press and enjoy it as well.'
*Many thanks to Kit Thomas for all her sterling work in
designing and getting this new edition to press.

'The triumphant return of Holmes and Watson'
Eric Hiscock The Bookseller
Chocolate will never seem quite the same again. With an
irresistable, high-quality Goon-like zaniness, this dynamically-paced
thriller follows its own lager-than-life logic. Not to be
missed. - Richard Pearce Sunday Express
Supremely enchanting John Stonehouse -Books and Bookmen
A splendid spoof, even better than the author¹s earlier
parody of Le Carré, Eeny Meeny Miny Mole.
Francis Geoff Sunday Telegraph
Ingenious. So well crafted that the entertainment value
is not in doubt. Others will certainly try to update Holmes
and do far less well. Follow that, as they say. Southern
Evening Echo
The Curse of the Nibelung is a great addition to
the growing body of Holmesian adventures ...a lot of fun
...borders on the zany. Charles Dickinson Amazon.com
With an irresistible, high-quality Goon-like zaniness, this
dynamically-paced thriller follows its own larger than life
logic. Not to be missed. Sunday
